Why is Darkstalkers so much less popular in the competetive scene than other classic Capcom fighters?
>>389335812
More eccentric character designs and less depth.

that is a nice dfc
What other classic Capcom fighters? Vampire at least has a cult following today still, no one remembers or played shit like Cyberbots.
It's really different. That's about what it boils down to. SF speaks for itself, and Marvel is a massive crossover. Vsav is anime as fuck, plays differently, and just got lost in the shuffle. Still has its dedicated players though.
art style attracts only people who want to play as ether sexy ladies or monsters or both

doesn't it have basically everything old Capcom fighters had in terms of mechanics?
>>389336013
manly thinking about SF2T or SFA2, but even the old Marvel games seem to have more traffic

they killed the series competitively with 2 very unneeded arcade updates.
like we got savior 1, but then savior 2 and hunter 2 a couple of months later simultaneously.
neither update had the full roster.

but what about rival schools, the red headed stepchild of Capcom fighters

>Guile = Raptor
>Ken = B.B. Hood
Those two seem like a stretch, but the rest are fine.

IIRC, they fucked up on the actual arcades somehow.
The game was good and well liked by those who had the chance to play it but most did not.

They weren't famous to begin with, it's always behind streetfighter, KOF, samurai shodown and then metal slug back during the arcade days, despite metal slug being a side scroller.
